Title: Adding shims to the se compensator.
Post by: 838 on October 06, 2019, 01:00:02 PM
My 117" currently has a game changer sprocket installed with the latest SE compensator/rotor kit. 09 FLHX. I've noticed that at mid RPMs during moderate to aggressive acceleration I get some noise... it's hard to explain the sound because there's a lot of noise at that point 🤘, but I'm guessing the auto tensioner has cranked up and my chain is real tight.

I'm reinstalling the stock sprocket and have purchased a twin power manual tensioner as well. For the newest SE  unit is there a potential of needing extra shims or small springs? If so what part numbers am I looking for?

Clutch is stock with SE spring and VPC. It's not slipping.

Finally getting around to working the bugs out of this build. Compensator service, venting the intake/crankcase breathers, and adding rockouts.

Search the site, there are several posts on setting the spring stack height for the compensator.

Or the sticky topics list. How easy is that?
